Lee dies arrived today, all I need now is brass and bullets - they were last seen in Spain

CUNNING PLAN...........
Due the extreme kindness received from a certain very northern person on another forum, I am ready for range day #2 tomorrow. Need to remember my spotting scope this time
Note also that I have given the grips a long drink of Linseed Oil so everything looks the part now......

Some cases jammed in the chambers because they expanded too much ( chamber ware ) but I had a piece of dowel which removed them without any problem.
Not bad at 25 mtres for a gun of about 130 years old!

For 25 meters I'd say that was respectable for a handgun. Glad you got it working out alright now, Duncan.

Probably better than I could do with my 1895 Nagant pistol, and it's much newer than yours,
it's only 102 years old...........

Peace is that brief, quiet moment in history.......... when everybody stands around reloading.
